Manhattan Lyrics by Sleepless

2025

[Verse 1]

Well I wore the same clothes
For three whole days
But finally I changed
Yeah, finally I changed

But for you it’s New York
For three whole weeks
Just, 21 sleeps
Just, 21 sleeps

That’s all, you get
Before you’re right back here, again

[Verse 2]

There’s more tension between us
Than in arms raised
Circa 1978, 1978

I’m far too focused
On this noble person I’m trying to be
That I am not, but God I learned a lot

About myself, about us

[Chorus]

Well selfish girl why can’t you see
I’m cruel to you, cause you’re cruel to me
When are you gonna learn for yourself

Deceptive girl like a summer breeze
If you think you’re so much better than me
I get it
You don’t want me around

[Verse 3]

The last thing I said to you
Was enjoy your trip
Run away from your problems
Just like a little kid

But you know
You still have my book, and I have asked
Of things to do on the roof
In the shower
Bowling and [?]
The movies and birthdays and new years we missed

I just need
A little bit
Of courage

[Chorus]

Well selfish girl why can’t you see
I’m cruel to you, cause you’re cruel to me
When are you gonna learn for yourself

Deceptive girl like a summer breeze
If you think you’re so much, better than me
I get it
You don’t want me around

[Outro]

But it hurts like hell
Yeah it’s hurts like this town
Don’t it?
